Chapter 6298: All mortal emperors and heaven are heaven

"That is to say, before this, the kidneys can support the body. Isn't this benefiting all things without competing?"

Kong Wu nodded repeatedly, indicating that he had learned.

Bai Guanxing folded his hands on his chest: "In other words, they used money they thought was expensive to exchange for romantic debts, and their bodies couldn't bear it at all."

"But they..."

Just as Kong Wu was about to speak, he was interrupted by Bai Guanxing: "But they said that not so often, you can save money and protect your kidneys?"

"Sir, can you teach me your divine eye?"

Bai Guanxing smiled and said: "According to common logic, since you are so restrained, you will spend less money and save more money."

"For example, within a few years, they only used a few taels of silver to have fun. Then, compared to hundreds of taels, a few taels of silver is just a fraction."

Kong Wu was a little confused. Although what he said was correct, he didn't know what he wanted to express. Bai Guanxing knocked on his forehead: "I mean, if you can't make money, you can't make it. One hundred

If you can earn both, you just need that little change!"

"They can't make any money, so they use this as an excuse, and they also feel that their tribe or dynasty is deliberately constraining them..."

"Yes, sir! Why didn't I think of that at the time!"

Kong Wu patted his thigh, feeling that the truth was clear, but then he frowned: "But that's not right, sir, a gift of a hundred taels is still very expensive!"

"From a weak title to talking about marriage, it is only six or seven years. It is difficult for ordinary men from the tribe to earn more than a hundred taels."

Bai Guanxing shook his head and was speechless: "Then why is the bride price so high?"

"Because of my mother-in-law!"

Kong Wu almost didn't think about it, and said even more miserably: "Sir, I have to say something about this. I have seen some mothers-in-law, even if they are short of one tael of silver, they will not allow their daughters to marry, and how many lovers will be broken up!"

Bai Guanxing nodded and smiled: "Why does the mother-in-law love money so much?"

Kong Wu thought for a while: "Ah, yes, it seems because the house deed is too expensive! It's not just the house deed, sir, you know, in ordinary life, we pay attention to the basic necessities of life, and the basic necessities of life have increased accordingly... so the betrothal gift has increased."

Kong Wu was also helpless. At that time, to the common people, he was like a Taoist god descending to earth, dedicated to pacifying the world's injustices. But unfortunately, he, who was a Taoist at that time, could not fight against those ordinary people.

For example, for the couple who was rejected from marriage because they couldn't get the last ounce of money together, Kong Wu went to the woman at that time and gave her mother-in-law advice.

But the other party was very confident and said, "You can't even raise more than a hundred taels, so why should my daughter marry her and suffer the consequences?"

The key point was that the mother-in-law became more and more excited as she talked, and finally cried, saying that her daughter was the thorn in her heart, and it was painful enough to cut her heart, so how could she bear to let her suffer.

Kong Wu was speechless, so he realized what it means that it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs.

"Ah, yes, sir! They also blamed the dynasty at that time, saying that they deliberately raised the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation so that they could exploit them for life. They did not believe in the so-called benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust!"

Bai Guanxing nodded: "Well, let's talk about the dynasty thirty years ago. How much have house prices increased in the past thirty years?"

Kong Wu thought for a while: "At least it's thirty times as much! But ordinary income has only increased by more than ten times!"

"In other words, the cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation has increased two or three times?"

"A house that could be bought for a few dozen taels in the past now costs one to two thousand taels?"

"Yeah! Sir, I think this is too expensive too!"

Bai Guanxing shook his head and laughed: "Then how much is the house they live in worth now?"

Kong Wu was startled, yes!

"House prices are rising across the entire kingdom and tribes, but the house they live in is still at the original price?"

Bai Guanxing shook his head: "If the price of food, clothing, housing and transportation, apart from housing, increases, then those who open inns, restaurants, and tailors should be very happy, because they have made more money, but are you happy to see them?"

Kong Wu thought about it for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle.

The Blood Infant Ancestor was upset when he heard this, and just shook his head in disdain: "So, ants are just ants. I picked up a tael of real gold and silver, but I was only happy for three or two days. I lost a little bit of silver, and I'm afraid I will be depressed for half a month.

It’s like the whole world owes him.”

Kong Wu was stunned, it seemed that this was true!

"Sir, is there any secret here?"

Bai Guanxing sighed: "Because the Dao heart is not pure, and there are selfish desires everywhere."

"Let's put it this way, for ordinary people, how does gold and silver come from? It has to work, right?"

Kong Wu nodded, and Bai Guanxing said: "Work requires hard work. If they earn a little bit of money, they will have to pay corresponding hard work."

"But they forget that for someone else's ten taels of silver, they have to put in ten taels of work. They regard everything of their own as the most important, and despise other people's things countless times even if they are the same."

"Everyone does it, so what are the consequences?"

Kong Wu thought it made sense, but then he shook his head again and again: "Sir, I retorted like this back then, but it was useless!"

"Do you know what I did in the end? I could only use some small tricks and condensed a few silver ingots from stones to help the young couple."

"It's a pity that I can only take care of one family among hundreds of millions of ordinary people. The Taoist gods can't take care of hundreds of millions of times the number of people."

"Yes, one person was saved, but there are still hundreds of millions of people."

Bai Guanxing curled his lips slightly, and the Blood Infant Ancestor also grunted twice. Either way, ants are just ants, and neither Kong Wu nor Bai Ze's son can be saved at all.

But Bai Guanxing still insisted: "So the problem is back to the original point. I don't deny that a hundred taels of silver is too much for a person in his twenties who has just left home to make a living."

"But, you said, if they have a daughter in the future, what will happen to them when the daughter wants to talk about marriage?"

Kong Wu rubbed his chin. He had also considered this issue: "Sir, I think there are about three possibilities."

"First of all, the bride price will be so much."

"Secondly, they will not let their children try the hardships they have endured. Fathers, in particular, understand this very well."

"However, there are only a few men who can have this kind of enlightenment. After all, they spent a lot of money back then. You can't say that they are passing on their pain to the next generation, but that's how it is when they are born in the ordinary world."

"What about the third one?"

The last one was interesting. Kong Wu immediately said: "The third thing! Just don't get married at all! They said that as long as you don't get married, you don't have to worry about betrothal gifts or buying a big house. They also said that if you earn money, you can only give it to yourself.

Flowers, then your life will be very rich."

"That's true."
